You’re reading an excerpt from Sell Their Stuff: from eBay Trading Assistants to multi-channel selling assistance, everything you need to know about consignment selling online as a part-time income or full-time business by Hillary DePiano.

Being a Selling Assistant can be very flexible and can easily evolve from a part-time to a full-time source of income. Because the SA has complete control over her/his own schedule, the job can be adjustable seasonally, is easy to run alongside a full-time job, and is a popular home-based business.

Some people who might want to consider becoming a Selling Assistant:

Stay-at-home parents

Students

Retirees

Teachers or other seasonal employees

Someone between full-time jobs or job hunting

Established online sellers looking for additional income and inventory

Anyone looking for some extra income or a work-at-home environment

On the other hand, running a business, no matter what kind of business it is, is challenging, and a Selling Assistance business comes with its own host of issues on top of the usual ones. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme, it’s just a viable business opportunity that, when done right, can be a good source of income.

There is work aplenty involved in running a successful SA business, but there are also lots of advantages. We’ll take a closer look at both throughout this book. Just keep your eyes open and make sure you’re thinking realistically as we start to think about the next steps.
